The Worlds Oldest Man.

The oldest man in the world is said to
be James James, colored citizen of
the United States, who resides at Santa
Rosa, Mexico. He was born near Dor
chester. S. c., in 1852. He was one of
the laborers at Fort Moultrie during
the unsuccessful attack of the British
fleet in 1916. He was then twenty-four
years old. His master, James James,
manned one of the guns during the
fight. His last owner was Henry
James, who moved into Mexico in 1858
in order that his slaves might become
free before his death. At present the
rheumatism keeps James from walking,
but he can draw himself a short dis
lance, and otherwise is in fairly good
health Chicago Inter Ocean.

CROPS FOR FERTILIZERS.
A Splendid Way of Assisting the Soil to
Kecuperate Itself.

Recuperate Itself
There are times when, after the crop
has been harvested, the land is allowed
to remain undisturbed until the sue
ceeding spring; but experience has
demonstrated that it is better to have
crop of some kind on the ground at all
times, provided such crops be not per-
mitted to mature, but be turned under
as manure. The old system of fallow.
ing the land, which was simply to give
it a period of rest for recuperation,
proved very beneficial; yet, while the
land is remaining unproductive advan-
tage should be taken of the opportunity
for assisting the soil to regain fertility.
The soils that were heavily cropped
and abandoned became slightly COW
cred with scanty heritage, but as the
feeble plants derived much of their food
from the atmosphere, and, when plowed
under, added that which they gained to
the soil, in few years the soil became
sufficiently fertile to bear crop of some
kind. But such system Is not an eco
nomical one, for not only is there a
loss of time, but the process of re-
cuperation is slow. Provided the
crop be seeded in with a view of
turning it under the soil is always lem
Gifted, for while the plants, through
the agency of the roots and leaves, APP
propriate nitrogen in the shape of nitric
acid and ammonia from the atmosphere
and moisture, the roots also exert both
mechanical and chemical action on
the inert elements of the soil itself,
thus converting plant food from in
soluble materials. Hence, when reg
ular crop is removed, such as corn, the
land should be seeded Immediately to
some other crop, as rye, for instance,
the rye to be turned under when of the
proper height. No possible injury can
be done the soil, as the rye will not be
removed, and such crop performs the
service of assisting to restore fertility,
and also prevents the occupancy of the
land by weeds. The labor of blowing
and narrowing is not very expensive if
credit be given the value of the labor
saved in destroying the weeds that
would spring up should the ground be
left uncovered. Shade benefits the
land also, and some farmers are of the
opinion that the shading of the ground
by clover is very important matter
that does not receive proper attention;
but where clover is not possible, as is
the case on some soils, the growing of
special manurial crops is n cheap and
easy mode Of assisting to restore those
soils that have been overcropped and
become somewhat exhausted. -Phtla-

The Hospital at Teheran.

The Shah of Persia has authorized
the American missionaries to establish
at Teheran a hospltalin which, without
regard TO nationality or religion, all
applicants for relief may be received
for treatment. DR.. Torrence-who is
physician to the mission-has been APP

appreciation of Dr. Torrcnces zeal and
devotion, applied gratuitously for many
years in the relief of distress, the Shah
has named him Grand Officer of the

-Copperas is a splendid medicine to
keep on hand for poultry. When they
have the roup wash their heads with a

ton in the drinking water as tonic

which is necessary.
,--Stewed Potatoes: Take cold boiled
potatoes and cut them up quite small;
put them into the pan, add some milk,
salt and pepper to taste; dredge them
with flour, and boil slowly until the
milk becomes thick. Then put in con-
siderable butter and serve ot.-ChrtS-

Fried Tomatoes: Cut ripe tomatoes
in rather thick slices, dip them in beaten
eggs seasoned with salt, pepper and
sugar (the latter in the proportion of
one teaspoonful to each egg), and then
in cracker or fine bread crumbs. Fry
ten minutes in hot butter, five minutes
for each side, and serve on thin toast
nicely Drowned. -Demorest' Monthiy.
Goldfish Chowder: Slice some pork
into deep stewpan, and cover with
sliced onion and sweet herb: then cut
a fresh cod into thin pieces, removing
the bones. and add layer of the same
to the pork. Alternate with pork and
cod until the pot is almost full, putting
biscuits also between the layers. Over
all pour quart of water, and allow it
to stew slowly for four hours. Season

1t is not so much the little red mites
in the hen-house that do the damage
to poultry as it is the large gray body
lice, which work on the heads and
necks. Look closely for them, as they
do not leave the body of the fowls.
The sleepy disease in chicks, dropping
spirits of the hens and failure to lay,
though well fed and in apparent health,
may be traced to the large lice on hens.

There Is An Acid in the Blood.

So say pathologists-which is present in
rheumatism. This, coming into contact
with the sensitive 1igaments of the joints
and muscles, causes the acute pains called
rheumatic and arthritic. 1t is expelled by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, through the
medium of a renewed healthful action of the
kidneys and bladder, which carry off i'm
purities that, if allowed to remain, give rise
not only to rheumatism, but to govt, dropsy
and gravel. Dyspeptic troubles also cease
when the Bitters is taken to relieve them.

Home First,

"Let home stand first before all other
things! No matter how high your
ambition may transcend its duties, no
matter how far your talents or your
influence may reach beyond its doors,
before everything else build up true
home! Be not its slave; be its minis
ter! Let 1t not be enough that it is
swept and garnished, that it's silver is
brilliant, that its food is delicious, but
feed the love in it, feed the truth in it,
feed thought and aspiration, feed ali
charity and gentleness in it. Then
from its walls shall come forth the true
woman and the true man, who shall to-
gether rule and bless the land" Is
this an overwrought picture? We
think not. What honor can be greater
than to found such home? What
dignity higher than to reign it's undis-
puted honored mistress? What is the
ability to speak from public platform
to large, intelligent audiences, or the
wisdom that may command a seat on
the judges bench, compare to that
which can insure and preside over a
true home, that husband and children
"rise and call her blessed?' To the
guiding star, the ruling spirit in such a
position is higher honor than to rule an
Beecher.
